Love the idea a very difficult confusing intersection.

Does that intersection get backed up? It seems like a very odd selection for a roundabout spot.

I thought that same thing too at first. But the main problem there is people turning left with no way to go around them. Hamilton is a pretty heavily traveled east-west street, and one person turning left in front of 10 others going straight can get annoying.

This right here is the problem, it’s not a perfect square of an intersection so I can understand the confusion it can cause with people not familiar with it.

Did they need to bulldoze any buildings for this project?

I can't imagine 1401 surviving a roundabout being plopped here.

I was gonna say they probably just plop a raised disc in the middle like at 63rd & Shirley.
